Tanya’s experience is not unique. Our legal team has heard similar stories over the years from other NYC families trying to begin homeschooling.

A Texas court protected HSLDA members from CPS investigators’ fishing expedition, saying the department’s “responsibility to protect children from abusive parents does not authorize the state to oversee the internal affairs of every family.”

Tanya had done everything right—filing paperwork and following the homeschool law of New York City. Imagine her shock when a Child Protective Services investigator came to her apartment because of a report of “educational neglect.”

A Virginia school district admits to state supreme court justices that it planned to prosecute a homeschool family over a made-up policy.

Two legislators who support homeschooling say advocates need to prepare now in case West Virginia calls a special session to impose new restrictions.
